具有三体相互作用海森堡自旋链模型的纠缠与几何失协

近年来有研究发现量子失协可以度量非纠缠的量子关联,而且非纠缠的量子关联在量子通信和量子计算中起到很重要的作用.研究了磁场,两种三体相互作用,各向异性参数,耦合常数,温度等参数对同时具有两种三体相互作用海森堡XXZ自旋链系统的量子纠缠,几何失协的影响以及与量子相变的关系.研究表明:量子纠缠和几何失协都可以清晰的表征本模型系统的量子相变现象; 随着XZX+YZY型三体相互作用的增加量子纠缠和几何失协即使在高温时也可达到最大值;几何失协比量子纠缠更全面地描述了量子关联; XZY-YZX型三体相互作用的增加对量子纠缠有抑制作用;XZY-YZX型三体相互作用在一定区域内的增加对几何失协有抑制作用,在另一区域的增加可使几何失协增大到一个稳定的非零值。增大磁场和自旋耦合常数,减小各向异性参数会使纠缠的临界温度变大; 调节自旋耦合常数可更有效的使量子纠缠和几何失协在高温时仍有一个较大的值.同时发现,在磁场 和各向异性参数 的区域两种量子关联都可以维持在最大值.

本文研究了具有两种三体相互作用的海森堡XXZ自旋链的量子相干与量子纠缠的特性。研究发现,量子相干性不会出现突然死亡现象且非零量子相干性存在的温度范围大于量子纠缠存在的温度范围,说明量子相干性相对于量子纠缠,具有更强的鲁棒性。在量子临界环境中,量子相干性可以表征本模型的量子相变现象。在铁磁情形中,无论外磁场是否为0,单独调控XZX+YZY三体相互作用对于减缓量子相干性的衰减速率与增大量子相干性存在的温度范围效果最好。在反铁磁情形中,外磁场为0时,XZX+YZY与XZY-YZX两种三体相互作用的协同作用可以显著增加量子相干性的最大值,并明显减缓其衰减速率。在铁磁情形与反铁磁情形中都发现当外磁场B <0时,量子相干性存在的温度范围更大,更有利于保存量子相干性。

One-norm geometric quantum discord and critical point estimation in the XY spin chain

In contrast with entanglement and quantum discord (QD), we investigate the thermal quantum correlation in terms of Schatten one-norm geometric quantum discord (GQD) in the XY spin chain, and analyze their capabilities in detecting the critical point of quantum phase transition. We show that the one-norm GQD can reveal more properties about quantum correlation between two spins, especially for the long-range quantum correlation at finite temperature. Under the influences of site distance, anisotropy and temperature, one-norm GQD and its first derivative make it possible to detect the critical point efficiently for a general XY spin chain.     

Long-range quantum discord in critical spin systems

We show that quantum correlations as quantified by quantum discord can characterize quantum phase transitions by exhibiting nontrivial long-range decay as a function of distance in spin systems. This is rather different from the behavior of pairwise entanglement, which is typically short-ranged even in critical systems. In particular, we find a clear change in the decay rate of quantum discord as the system crosses a quantum critical point. We illustrate this phenomenon for first-order, second-order, and infinite-order quantum phase transitions, indicating that pairwise quantum discord is an appealing quantum correlation function for condensed matter systems.     

Quantum correlations in a long range interaction spin chain

We propose a new type of long range interaction spin chain. The quantum correlations such as quantum discord, entanglement, and structure factor are investigated in the thermal state with considering them both in zero temperature and finite temperature. Based on our results, we compare the differences and show the relations between the three types of quantum correlations in this long range interaction model.     

Collapse–revival of quantum discord and entanglement

In this paper the correlations dynamics of two atoms in the case of a micromaser-type system is investigated. Our results predict certain quasi-periodic collapse and revival phenomena for quantum discord and entanglement when the field is in Fock state and the two atoms are initially in maximally mixed state, which is a special separable state. Our calculations also show that the oscillations of the time evolution of both quantum discord and entanglement are almost in phase and they both have similar evolution behavior in some time range. The fact reveals the consistency of quantum discord and entanglement in some dynamical aspects.     

Generation of non-equilibrium thermal quantum discord and entanglement in a three-spin XX chain by multi-spin interaction and an external magnetic field

The generation of non-equilibrium thermal quantum discord and entanglement is investigated in a three-spin chain whose two end spins are respectively coupled to two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures. We show that the spin chain can be decoupled from the thermal reservoirs by homogeneously applying a magnetic field and including a strong three-spin interaction, and then the maximal steady-state quantum discord and entanglement in the two end spins can always be created. In addition, the present investigation may provide a useful approach to control coupling between a quantum system and its environment.     

Cumulative quantum work-deficit versus entanglement in the dynamics of an infinite spin chain

We find that the dynamical phase transition (DPT) in nearest-neighbor bipartite entanglement of time-evolved states of the anisotropic infinite quantum XY spin chain, in a transverse time-dependent magnetic field, can be quantitatively characterized by the dynamics of an information-theoretic quantum correlation measure, namely, quantum work-deficit (QWD). We show that only those nonequilibrium states exhibit entanglement resurrection after death, on changing the field parameter during the DPT, for which the cumulative bipartite QWD is above a threshold. The results point to an interesting inter-relation between two quantum correlation measures that are conceptualized from different perspectives.     

Quantum phase transition in XY spin chain with three-site interaction studied in terms of Loschmidt echo and Berry phase

By means of the Loschmidt Echo (LE) and Berry Phase (BP) calculations, quantum phase transition (QPT) of an XY spin chain with three-site interaction (α) in a transverse magnetic field (λ) is studied. Both the LE and BP?s λ derivative present anomaly behaviors at the critical regions λ₁,λ₂ and λ₃. The model is in the Ferromagnetic phase as λ>λ₁=1+α and in the Spin Liquid I phase as −1+α<λ<1+α. λ₁ and λ₂ are independent on the anisotropy parameter γ. But, the anisotropy interaction can shift the critical line λ₃ between the Spin Liquid II phase and the Ferromagnetic phase. The present work suggests that QPT of the XY spin chain with three-site interaction can be characterized by exploring the dynamical behaviors of the LE and BP.     

Modulation of entanglement and quantum discord for circuit cavity QED states

The paper investigates the dynamic evolution behaviors of entanglement and quantum discord of coupled superconducting qubits in circuit QED system. We put emphasis on the effects of cavity field quantum state on quantum entanglement and quantum correlations dynamic behaviors of coupling superconducting qubits. The results show that, (1) generally speaking, the entanglement will appear the death and new birth because of the interaction between qubits and cavity field, on the contrary, this phenomenon will not appear in quantum discord. (2) When the cavity field is in coherent state, the entanglement survival time is controlled by the average photon number. The more the average photon number is, the longer survival time of entanglement is prolonged. Thus it has the benefit of keeping quantum correlations. (3) When the cavity field is in squeezed state, the squeezed amplitude parameters have controlling effects on quantum correlations including entanglement and quantum discord. On the one hand, the increase of squeezed amplitude parameters can prolong the survival time of entanglement, on the other hand, with the increase of squeezed amplitude parameters, the robustness of quantum discord is more and more superior to concurrence and is more advantage to keep the system quantum correlations. The further study results show that the increase of the initial relative phase of coupling superconducting qubits can also keep the quantum correlations.     

Classical correlation, quantum discord and entanglement for two-qubit system subject to heat bath

Classical correlation (CC), quantum discord (QD) and entanglement (QE) of two qubits in one-side and two-side decoherence models are investigated. The sudden change of quantum discord (DSC) as well as classical correlation and sudden death of entanglement (ESD) are found. It is proved that QE (QD) presents no sudden change (sudden death). We prove that, for nonzero occupation number of the reservoir, QE must suffer sudden death; For zero occupation number and X-form initial states, we obtain the states which are robust and the states which experience sudden death. It is verified that if DSC and ESD occur under one-side decoherence, then it must appear in the two-side decoherence, while the reverse does not hold. We obtain the boundaries of CC-QE plane and QD-QE plane, and give the state possessing maximal amount of CC (QD) for a given amount of QE.
